the new norm of studios not only cancelling shows with diverse casts and characters after a single shortened season but then immediately removing them entirely from their platforms so no one can ever legally watch them again is gross and frustrating enough on its own, but there’s something really insidious about the fact that so many of these shows were the recipients of targeted hate campaigns before they even aired just because they were deemed to be “too woke” or “too gay” and how that plays into the larger sociopolitical landscape rn.

like tv shows are not nearly as important as the very real actual human people being hurt and affected by current and proposed legislation, but we as a community and as individuals are being told on all fronts that we can’t exist; not in real life, and not even in the escapist fantasy of television shows

#i know i'm not saying anything that we as a community are not already aware of but like jesus fuck #every single time??? #the finale literally aired three weeks ago!!! wtf wtf wtf #grease rise of the pink ladies #willow 2022 #willow dared to have two queer actors playing lesbian love interests #rotpl really gave me two TWO queer nonbinary actors playing lesbian love interests #and then paramount dragged me out back like an old dog while disney smoked a pipe on the porch #like netflix and amazon both suck for a myriad of reasons #but at least they keep their cancelled shows on the platforms like some macabre roadside memorial to the sapphics #guess we'll see how long that lasts #sorry to be a bummer on main but uh i am Going Through Some Things and this all is super not helping

shoutout to my old 4th grade teacher for being more supportive of me one time 6 months ago than my own mother's ever been< 3333

#it was like such a tiny interaction but i also never forgot #it was during some kind of family party thing for kids parents (and siblings) to come and eat pizza and some other stuff i dont remember #and anyways my brother(who currently goes to this school) wanted to go so my whole family went #and while i was there my mom saw my old 4th grade teacher and was like “omg you should go talk to her” #and i was like yeah i should she was a really cool lady actually #so i nervously was like “hi” and didnt think shed recognize me at all #but she IMMEDIETLY was like “ITS YOU! /pos” #she then points to my shirt and asks me “hey are those your pronouns now?” #and this was back when i still wore pronoun/pride pins in general #and i was like “yeah actually!” because no adult had ever asked me about it before and i was so happy to like be recognized as a person #and she gave me a hug and told me she was proud of me and how much id grown and i /maybe/ got a little close to tears but ignore that #and my mom just stood there the whole time #she didnt say anything #she didnt smile #and this was not my first time wearing my pronoun pin my TRANS FLAG pin even #never once did she acknowledge it #also like a month later she made fun of me for it and i havent worn one since #uh yeah anyways #sorry for ranting lmao #or ig venting?? this was not my intention mb mb #trans #transgender #lgbt #lgtbq #lgbtqia #(to be clear my mom has made it very clear she will never support me on numerous occasions it wasnt like a one time thing lmao) #tw vent?? #tw vent

finally watching Barbarian (2022) and this man has negative charisma tbh. incredibly funny to cast a man this good looking in a role like this.

#james talks #james watches stuff #barbarian #barbarian 2022 #watch the stupid ass twist be he's some fucking virgin 500 year old or something and why he uses 'young lady' #man has so many fucking red flags #like he's trying to be genuinely nice but it also reads as such huge blaring sirens #casting a skarsgard brother for this was an incredible choice btw #also tbh so far the filmmaking is fun but i don't know what it really wants to be like if it's trying to be traditional horror or— #despite my distaste for the term it has unfortunately stuck around in the discourse so forgive my usage but— #it wants to be more cerebral or like 'elevated horror' #anyway uh the opening had some really bad fake rain #back to the movie i go

Young Justice (animated) The Quarry au. I hear you thinking. “Ed as Ryan and Bart as Dylan.” But I raise you: Ed as Laura and Bart as Max

#Eddie with an eyepatch and a gun? Bart as his golden retriever boyfriend who is now cursed to be a warewolf? yes #Bart saying the iconic line “WHY AM I ON TOP OF A FUCKING TREE?’’ while butt naked and stuck in said tree? yes #Ed saying ‘’uh yeah I’m not a criminal?’’ to shooting a woman in the face? yes #them reuniting with Ed in said old lady’s clothes covered in blood and Bart in some random chick’s crop top? yes #Cassie as Kaitlyn #I haven’t figured out the rest ♥️ #bart allen #yja #young justice #eduardo dorado jr

how to specially formulate a character for my brain to latch onto so I can spin them around with it like a top:

- put them in a position of authority and make that authority their entire personality

- loosen those hinges >:)

- give them one character flaw so deep it babygirlifies them

- "he's so pathetic" (said by me while kicking my feet and twirling my hair and drawing hearts around their name)

- involve a kid somewhere in their arc

if you do this it's a guarantee your character will absolutely eviscerate me from the inside

#i was analyzing all my fave characters. uh. as i do. and realized i have a specific formula with all of them #these characters are always antagonists. sometimes redeemed but sometimes not #they also tend to be male... somebody give me a lady or nonbinary character like this please #basically i love skrunkly trash bag rat guys (gender neutral) in media #and have since i was like 4 years old #all this was triggered by comparing one of my first character obsessions to my latest one and realizing they're the same frickin guy #me.

I've gone from insane about the pilot when it dropped and so so into it to mildly interested and kind of cringing at the actual first episode. 4 years's not a lot but I feel like I got old

#i'm talking about h@zbin h0tel btw. i refuse for this to appear in the tags this is a mutuals only post #like. i was sooo into the pilot in high school #and now it's uh. i can see the strings and there's a lot of them #by that i mean i see what they're trying to do and how they're trying to do it #instead of the techniques having the intended effect and being seamless #the swearing is.... a bit tedious. the singing was mych better in the pilot than it is in ep1 #i am also the one person on earth who doesn't like v@ggie's va i think? #her sound quality is Different and she sounds like a real person talking to a friend #which you'd think is good but actually it sounds Off for a show #also like the characters... cringe. this throws me back to when i thought this was the height of cool and it doesn't work for me #what gets me is it's pretty tied to its fanbase compared to what i usually engage with #like. it got big based on the fanbase and the reaction to the pilot is the vibe i get #and the fans are.... teenagers? who think this is the height of cool? #which. when i was like 15 i was so into this. but i am Not 15 Anymore. #and i don't want to be around 15yos who don't like the same things in media as me #man this makes me feel old and i was born after 9/11. like. i'm not old. i'm young! #but this makes me feel ancient. like i'm an old no-fun allowed cat lady #wow i have a ramble tag now

trolling my intro to the humanities class by talking about things I actually care about.

#truly WHAT will i choose next! #really actually tho… bc i have to choose something culturally relevant that’s come out since 2001 #like. i don’t know! i live under a rock! #the only culturally-relevant things i know are older than that #and the modern things i know are uh. well let’s just say that calling them ‘culturally relevant’ would be charitable #they’re relevant To Me but i don’t thin my professor is gonna like that #so I have to think of something people have actually heard of… #i have exactly one idea so we might be going with that… we shall see… #(and yes i HAVE already talked about Black Sails so that’s out!) #you’ll never guess which ‘cultural object’ i selected for my project… #hmmmm - i wonder what it could be… #let’s just say that the fact that i’ve inadvertently forced my old lady professor to listen to it at least twice at this point is HYSTERICA #i’ll probably make another post about this later bc it’s just SO funny to me

Whether he meant it that way or not the guy I’m kinda friends with saying he wants to buy me a drink Wednesday at trivia was an ego boost.

#went out dancing w/ folks from my weekly trivia #most were women old enough to be my mom lol but there’s 2 guys my age on the 1 team who came too #the one danced w/ me a bit & i saved him from some drunk lady who had started dancing w/ him & was getting a lil handsy #and last week the guy i was dating broke up w/ me cause i said i didn’t want to get married #i also laid out the 3 major red flags he’d been doing like guilt tripping & being possessive #but the fact i won’t marry him & follow him to ohio made him want to split #which uh honestly feels like i dodged something cause nice guy but big he thought i was his manic pixie dream girl vibes #so what happened tonight was a pleasant surprise

[snekdood]

i hate when a bitch like my sister thinks she knows everything about me in spite of never personally interacting with me on a deep level in any capacity and only getting glimpses of my life from. sneakily reading and looking at my art in notebooks.

#bc if the bitch actually talked to me at all she'd realize i imprint on the emo guy in those old comics not the blonde lady #the blonde woman was a decoy so ppl wouldnt realize i wanted to be the guy. and your dumbass literally fell for it so easily #i literally only made her so ppl would stop thinking im gay since previously i played pretend as everyones boyfriend. #LITERALLY the assimilation character whos basiclaly barbie. but sure im sure theres some deep meaning behind her baout me sure. dshjbfhjb #idk. maybe if you didnt go around accusing me of being gay as if it were a bad thing i wouldnt do allathat now would i? #you're literally a nazi lmao. like its been in your blood from the beginning. at least being a bigot was. #unrelated but noticing all the invasion of my privacy that constantly went on when i was a kid #.no wonder i dont feel like i have control over my life or any part of it. #or uh. CONSTANTLY FEELING WATCHED.
